How dare you call Serie getting KOd by Sense's charm filler

 

[Madologist]

Geh weg!

Her hands look large.

By what she's saying, if she closes her eyes, she'll have worse balance. For some blind people with functioning eyes, that's the case.

Well, if you let her fight, she will be dangerous, so in a way it was the right call to take her out before waiting for backup.

And that's how dangerous she is. But at least she acknowledges it.

All of Frieren's long-haired versions are good. Same with Übel.

Fern with drill hair is great. Both versions.

I already forgot, why are we following this characters again and not the titular character?

Because they're also awesome.

Someone had way too much fun drawing all those hair styles for all of the female characters.

No such thing as too much fun drawing hair styles.

They? Japanese readers have some pretty interesting character preferences. Seeing fan content for the franchise, I honestly thought that Fern was the ultimate character among fans.

It's japanese weebs. Of course the most popular is going to be the boring glasses guy and the woman who leads him with a leash

 

[velatic]

uohhhh that ubel twintail mesugaki aura is of the chart!!!!!

 

[25WetNoodles]

Aww hell yeah we're back boys!

What do you mean you're tired? It's only been like 5-6 chapters.

I remember how tired I was during the exam arc - and how easily it reads all it once, when rereading.

Do people seriously want to see ONLY Frieren, Fern and Stark at all times?
Is it that odd there are other important characters to focus on too?

You mean, like Sein?

 

[Yanqui9]

Am I alone in saying I'm already tired of the super glowing spy ops government conspiracies arc? It just makes me want Frieren to just lay waste to this kingdom after the all good she did for everyone.

Nah, probably the editor making the mangaka cash in on some of Spy x Family popularity, but its so off-genre that its irritating

I had trouble following this chapter. It makes no sense for when capturing high profile threats to leave them together and unsupervised. Usually you would separate and keep them under watch. It would also be wise to move them somewhere like their HQ, not some random useless tower conveniently placed. The targets fucking fly, no reason to put them so high up, bring them underground if you want to be fancy. And since they have magic that messes with the senses, they should have cast that on the glasses dude as well. Heck, forget it, magic is not even need, cover their eyes and ears and bind their feet too with chains, limit their oxygen intake, sedate them, break their limbs, etc. Magic is dangerous and countermeasures can be developed on the fly, don't let captured elite mages calmly think.

Even in real life, with no powerful magicians going around wrecking shit, high profile criminals and terrorists are treated with much more caution. If they are willing to fight to death even, why not be much rougher with them? When Ubel fought, she was ready to kill, why are her enemies not doing the same? She has value only for interrogation and maybe ransom/exchange at this point.

If I was the emperor, I would restructure that entire organization to be actually effective. Not even random cops are that incompetent. It is unacceptable for elite forces to so unprofessional. This manga has characters like Denken who always calmly analyze the situation and think things thoroughly, is there really nobody in this old prestigious organization in charge of designing procedures and training their personnel? Even guerrilla forces do it, what the fuck?

I also think the author may be taking the Ubel perception thing a bit to far. I think that for her magic to work on materials that she expect it to work on despite any bullshit magical defense layered upon is fine, but shouldn't the restraining magic work? I assume it would have certain principles as for why the restrainment works, maybe it does something physical to the target body, rendering he or she unable to cast magic. By ignoring this, the author is basically ignoring what has been defined before and giving a free pass to any kind of asspull.

"Aha! You punched me, but I think of myself as being someone who can't be punched as my face is too sacred for that, therefore your punch didn't do shit!. All other types of offense don't work too due to my interpretation."

I'm complaining because the author usually does a good job with theses things, but here he slipped.

 

[kaminomikan]

I fear the end of Frieren group journey.

 

[Meathir]

The negotiations were short!

 

[Asheron]

Ubel and her simp being back SoL'ing is nice to see. I don't know why they aren't just exploring the market and casting furtive glances and making romantic innuendo with each other though. They are wasted on this political intrigue and war setting.

 

[ShaiKhulud]

Peak is back, though next chapter is almost in September.

I'm glad that mangakas are well and probably are working on a second season.

 

[GoodNaturedArsonist]

yooooooooooooo its back!

 

[Bel-Shug]

Uoh Drill hair 😭

 

[Liar]

NO, FRIEREN, YOU KILLED HIMMEL WITH YOUR CUTENESS!

 

[Rockito]

I was about to "do myself" in this One Piece-less week. Luckily Frieren came to the rescue.

Spoiler: joke

(I wasn't about to do myself just in case lol).

 

[metal4orce]

Blind Ubel is hot af
